Commercial Buildings
What is the tax incentive for commercial buildings?
A tax deduction of up to $1.80 per square foot is available to owners or tenants (or designers, in the case of government-owned buildings) of new or existing commercial buildings that are constructed or reconstructed to save at least 50% of the heating, cooling, ventilation, water heating, and interior lighting energy cost of a building that meets ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2001. Only buildings covered by the scope of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2001 are eligible. Partial deductions of $.60 per square foot can be taken for improvements to one of three building systems that reduce total heating, cooling, ventilation, water heating and interior lighting energy use by a certain percentage below ASHRAE 90.1-2001—the building envelope (10%), lighting (20%), or heating and cooling system (20%). An interim system-specific goal for lighting is provided directly in the legislation and is valid until the IRS issues a final regulation. The interim lighting provision allows prororated deductions from 30 cents to 60 cents per square foot for lighting systems as described below.
These deductions are available for buildings or systems placed in service from January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2013.
Who is eligible for the incentives?
The person or organization that makes the expenditures for construction is generally the recipient of the allowed tax deductions. This is usually the building owner, but for some HVAC or lighting efficiency projects, it could be the tenant. For government-owned buildings, the deduction may be taken by the building or system designer. Click here for the complete IRS rules.
What are the incentives and how do they work?
The builder (or designer in the case of publicly-owned buildings) can take the deduction in the year the property was placed in service. The building or system must be certified, with inspection and testing, as meeting the energy cost savings goal according to guidance issued by the IRS in consultation with the Department of Energy (a link to this guidance is provided below).
Key provisions in the guidance include the following:
- Certifications must be done by "qualified individuals". Qualified individuals must be licensed engineers or contractors, not be "related" to the taxpayer taking the deduction (as defined by the IRS), and self-certify to the taxpayer that he or she has qualifications to provide the certification.
- Certifications for energy savings shall be in accordance with the procedures in Appendix G of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004, supplemented with several provisions in the 2005 California Title 24 Nonresidential Alternative Calculation (ACM) Approval Manual. Generally calculations will be done by computer software. Software must be on a list of products approved by the U.S. Department of Energy.
- The certification must include a field inspection of the building after the building is placed in service to confirm that the building has met the savings goals. Specific inspection and testing procedures have been developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and can be downloaded by clicking here.
- Certifiers must also provide the building owner with an explanation and list of the energy efficiency features of the building and the projected annual energy costs.
For lighting systems, until the IRS issues a final rule, the law specifies that a deduction of $0.30 per square foot can be taken if the lighting system employs dual switching (ability to switch roughly half the lights off and still have fairly uniform light distribution) and reduces installed lighting power by at least 25% from values specified in specific cited tables in ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2001. As lighting power reductions climb from 25% to 40%, the deduction is increased proportionally, up to $0.60 for a 40% power reduction (plus the dual switching). This prorated credit does not apply to warehouse lighting.
For more information on the commercial lighting tax incentive, see LightingTaxDeduction.org and AdvancedBuildings.net.
What do I have to do to qualify for the incentives?
Follow the guidance issued by IRS – a link is provided below. For a taxpayer, they will need to know the square footage of the building (the IRS guidance explains how to calculate this), when the building was placed in service, and have a certification from a qualified individual stating which targets have been met (50% savings for three systems or 10% for the building envelope, 20% for lighting, or 20% for the heating and cooling system). There are no special forms to apply for this deduction, click here for details.

Paying a few dollars for a music score is much better than paying thousands of dollars in fines and/or spending years in jail behind bars for not heeding copyright laws.
Also just because something is out of print does not mean it is no longer copyrighted!!
There is, however, a plethora of Public Domain music available at IMSLP.org.
Kh ~~.
Amateur musicians practice until they get it right ...
Professional musicians practice until they can't get it wrong ...
AMEN Lars !! besides it is a means of income for musicians

I wish you the Best for each day, now and always.
I agree. Pay for the music. The cost of music is insignificant compared to the enjoyment of learning it and playing it. Those who write/wrote the music deserve to have enough money to pay for groceries, too.
The Bach BWV 1004 is public domain . . . available on the IMSLP.org site I mentioned earlier: BWV 1004
You might also check with your local university if it has a music department library. Our does and has a plethora of out of print (copyrighted) music available to borrow for several weeks at a time.
Also contact your church organists in your region. Some may have this music and allow you to use it for a little while.
Well, I've done it again! I can't find my "Prelude sur l'Introit de l'Epiphanie...AGAIN. I've played it every Epiphany Sunday for years...and of course it's already listed in the church bulletin for tomorrow . Can anyone e-mail me a copy? My copy is the original one that I ripped out of the AGO magazine decades ago.

Dear Bob,
An excellent alternate prelude for Epiphany is Wie Schön Leuchtet der Morgenstern by Dietrich Buxtehude.
Possibly you might contact the National AGO Headquarters and see if there is a back issue copy available (?).
Also check with local universities which may have music libraries.
Amazon has world books and they sell for a penny sometimes. The problem is that the postage is £2.99. Look on eBay. But the Rutter piece I bought from an Oxfam shop in a Rutter Organ Album. I got it dirt cheap and found out that John Rutter had signed the Tocatta in 7. As to the works here they will all be copyrighted because Rutter as far as I know is still alive as Christmas gone. Britton died in the 70s. Haikim is very much alive and was a pupil of Messiaen. Druffle also died very recently. Therefore the 70 year rule applies on all of these composers. Now methinks you are either from the copyright theft people to see who breaks the law. To ask for at least piece is unbelievable but to ask for 4 pieces reeks of pure audacity. Buy your music even if you have lost it you might turn up a gem like I did with Rutter. One assumes that the person at Oxfam didn't know who Rutter was.
other gems I found were Leighton and Matthias Organ albums marked as Used both 1p. What turned up from world books were two ex library books from a London University with the usual library ticket holders and the books. When it said used it should have read NEW! Neither book had ever been taken out at the library.

Mobile computing specialists MSI are developing a new touchscreen netbook based around Intel's next gen Pine Trail Atom platform, to be unveiled at CES 2010 next January.
MSI seems to inadvertently have let it slip that Intel is planning the official unveil of its new Atom chipset at the next CES in Vegas – hardly the mobile computing industry's best kept secret.
MSI's Andy Tung informed Gizmodo that Pine Trail is showing notably improved graphics performance (the GPU and CPU are both on the same chip in Pine Trail) and a minimum 20 percent better power consumption.
Fold-down touchscreen
The MSI Wind U150 is also rumoured to have a fold down screen, similar to Asus' Eee PC T91 and will run on the new Windows 7 OS.
Despite MSI's line on the future of netbook processors, Intel is still claiming that Pine Trail products could appear on the shelves before 2009 is out.
Head over to MSI's website for more on its latest range of 'Wind' branded netbooks. And check out our earlier reports on Intel's "Pine Trail" chip for further details.

5 found dead in Ohio home, police suspect murder/suicide
3 children among dead
Firefighters using a sledgehammer forced open a barricaded door to a family's garage and found five people, two dogs and a cat inside, all dead of apparent carbon monoxide poisoning in a possible murder-suicide amid a custody dispute.
The bodies of three children, their uncle and their grandmother were found Monday in a car in the garage, and a truck was running with hoses leading from the exhaust into the car, police said.
They were identified as 54-year-old Sandy Ford; her 32-year-old son, Andy Ford; and her grandchildren, 10-year-old Paige Hayes, 6-year-old Logan Hayes and 5-year-old Madalyn Hayes.
The children and Andy Ford all lived with Sandy Ford and her husband, Randy, in the house located in a residential neighborhood close to the Michigan state line.
Sgt. Joe Heffernan said Sandy Ford had primarily taken care of the children at her residence for the last four years, but their parents - the Fords' daughter, Mandy Hayes, and the children's father, Chris Hayes - were trying to regain full custody of them. He said Sandy Ford was upset about that, and he believes that was the motive for the murder-suicide.
Randy Ford called police Monday afternoon to say that he had returned home and found suspicious notes in the house from his wife, son and grandkids. He said he wasn't able to enter the garage.
Dean Sparks, executive director of Lucas County Children Services, told The Blade newspaper Monday that the children were placed in the Fords' custody in 2009.
He said he did not immediately have much information about the case but he called it "a horrible tragedy."
Heffernan told The Blade that Toledo police were called to the Ford home twice last week. Police were there Nov. 6 on a domestic violence issue concerning Sandy Ford and her daughter and again on Nov. 8 for a custody exchange, he said.
Doug Hall, a neighbor who lives across the street, said he saw the Fords' son and the children raking leaves last week. He said the only unusual thing he's noticed was a police car at the house Nov. 8. He said he didn't know why it was there.
Another neighbor said he saw the kids helping with the yard work and playing in the leaves just a few days ago.
"One minute they're doing the leaves, and then the next there are cop cars all over," Eric Pieper said.
Sylvania Schools Superintendent Brad Rieger told The Blade that the three children were enrolled in Whiteford Elementary School. Paige was a fifth grader, Logan was in second grade, and Madalyn was in kindergarten. He said they have a 9-year-old sister, Blake, who attends Hillview Elementary School.
Rieger said Whiteford is offering counseling for students and staff and offering the family condolences.

Sept. 17, 2009 — For millions of women and some men, bladder infections are a painful part of life.
More than half of women will have at least one urinary tract infection in their lifetime and many will have recurrent infections. Men get them too, but much less often than women and usually as a result of another medical problem, such as kidney stones or an enlarged prostate.
Although easily treated in most cases, the infections are not so easily prevented. But early animal research might lead to a nasal spray that protects against bladder and other urinary tract infections.
Researchers from the University of Michigan created the nasal vaccine, which targets specific strains of the Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacterium that causes most urinary tract infections.
Mouse Studies Promising
In animal studies, mice treated with three of six experimental vaccine candidates tested by the researchers developed antibodies against the bacteria and became resistant to infection.
The mice received an initial immunization, delivered via nasal spray, followed by two booster sprays a few weeks later, lead researcher Harry L.T. Mobley, PhD, tells WebMD.
"We screened more than 5,300 possible proteins and ended up with three that were very effective for preventing infection," Mobley says.
In a separate study, the researchers looked for, and found, these proteins in E. coli strains obtained from women treated for urinary tract infections.
"This suggests we are on the right track and that this might prove to be an effective vaccine in humans," he says.
The researchers hope to test the vaccine in humans but have no firm plans to do so. Mobley says a commercially available vaccine based on the research is at best years away.
245,000 UTI Hospitalizations Each Year
The University of Michigan researchers are not the first to attempt a vaccine to prevent urinary tract infections, and urologist Tomas Griebling, MD, MPH, tells WebMD that such a vaccine makes a lot of sense.
Griebling is vice chairman of the department of urology at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
By one estimate, urinary tract infections account for 6.8 million visits to doctors, 1.3 million emergency room trips, and 245,000 hospitalizations a year in the United States at a cost of $2.4 billion.
"The costs associated with urinary tract infections far exceed that of any other urologic disorder," he says.
Although in most cases the infections are not serious, when bacteria move beyond the bladder into the kidney or the blood or when infections involve antibiotic-resistant bacteria, they can become deadly.
The death of a Brazilian model early this year was a reminder of this
Doctors reportedly misdiagnosed 20-year-old Mariana Bridi's urinary tract infection, which was caused not by E. coli but by another bacterium, called Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Widespread infection led doctors to amputate Bridi's hands and feet in an effort to save her life, but the model died within weeks of entering the hospital.
A vaccine targeting the E. coli infection that causes most urinary tract infections would not have saved Bridi, but it could keep millions of people from becoming infected each year and save the health care system billions of dollars a year, Griebling says.
"This is an ideal infection to try and target with a vaccine because it is so common," he says. "I would say the early research looks promising, even though this certainly isn't ready for prime time. But if they could produce a nasal vaccine that is safe and cost-effective it could have a dramatic impact."

Diocese Launches Year of Faith App
Demonstrating that it can use New Media for the New Evangelization, the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend has become the first to launch a blog and mobile app to coincide with the Church's "Year of Faith." The Diocese lauched the blog and app in response to Pope Benedict XVI's call to "witness to the Gospel in the digital age."
"The Year of Faith offers many opportunities to examine and deepen our Catholic faith," said Diocese of Fort Wayne - South Bend Bishop Kevin Rhoades. "The Diocese has designed a special website to help you learn more about your faith and to encourage you on this journey to deepen and strengthen your faith."
The My Year of Faith blog and mobile app will offer short daily reflections on a variety of Catholic topics, including the Apostle's Creed, what happens at Mass, prayers and traditions, and the New Evangelization. It also features a daily challenge, suggesting prayer, reading, or actions to grow in faith, and a customizable calendar.
It's the first mobile app for the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, and was developed by Little i Apps, LLC, the creators of other Catholic mobile apps.
Both the app and blog will feature several well-known Catholic bloggers, authors, and speakers, bishops, priests, and lay men and women, such as Lisa Hendey, founder of CatholicMom.com; Fr. Leo Patalinghug, the cooking priest; author Brandon Vogt, and others.
"We feel it is an incredible new approach that embraces the Church's call for improved social media," said Patrick Lienen, co-founder of Little i Apps.
"I believe a tool like this app will be the perfect spiritual companion for families like mine," said Lisa Hendey. "The content will be instructive for Catholics, but will also provide us with the tools and motivation to share our faith with our loved ones and friends."
The app is available for iOS and Android devices and can be purchased in iTunes and on the Android Market for $0.99.

It's Easy Being Green
This story appears in the April 2007 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
For Bob Chandler, entrepreneurship and the environment go hand in hand. As co-owners of McCracken Building LLC, Chandler, 36, his business partner Matt Patton, 37, and four other partners outfitted their Eugene, Oregon, building with at least $60,000 in direct energy-saving measures. The upgrades to the three-story warehouse, which houses Chandler and Patton's 8-year-old snowboard, skateboard and surf equipment company, Tactics Boardshop, go above and beyond Oregon's standard building codes. McCracken installed ultra-efficient, compact fluorescent lighting, including outdoor lighting that runs on a timer. Skylights were added on the top floor to lower total energy usage.
The changes don't stop there: McCracken upgraded to double-pane windows with high-performance glazing that help keep the heat in during Eugene's dark, cold winters and keep sunlight out on long summer days when temperatures get into the 90s. A much more energy-efficient heating, air-conditioning and ventilation system was added, and motion sensors throughout the 27,000-square-foot building's common areas turn lights on and off as Tactics' 22 employees come and go. McCracken also added a bioswell, a natural rainwater drainage system that keeps run-off out of storm drains and away from local rivers. "I was always curious what we could do to lower our impact [on the environment]," Chandler says, "and, of course, at the same time, hopefully save money--or at least not cost the company too much money in making those choices."
As we celebrate the 37th Earth Day this month, there's a renewed emphasis on energy conservation and growing evidence that an eco-conscious mind-set is not only good for the environment, but also good for business. Consider Wal-Mart, which is installing freezers with energy-saving LED lights in its new Wal-Mart and Sam's Club locations. And a November 2006 McKinsey Global Institute study found that companies and households could slow the yearly growth rate in worldwide energy demand more than 50 percent by 2020 through increased energy efficiency.
Companies like McCracken have been the exception rather than the rule, however, because the upfront financial costs of energy conservation have outweighed the long-term benefits for many entrepreneurs. But the days of cheap power are over: The average price for industrial electricity use increased 9.1 percent between 2004 and 2005 to 5.73 cents per kilowatt hour, the largest percentage increase within the industrial, commercial and residential sectors in 10 years, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Crude oil prices could decline to $55 a barrel this year, but prices will generally stay a bit higher due to OPEC's recent activity in managing output, predicts Paul Flemming, director of the power and gas practice at Energy Security Analysis Inc., a Wakefield, Massachusetts, company that forecasts energy prices for its clients, which range from large companies and electrical utilities to universities. According to Flemming, the price of oil isn't "going to go to $30 [a barrel]. It's going to stay strong."
Powering Through It
By incorporating alternative energy sources such as solar and wind power, not only are you doing something good for the environment, but you are also locking in your energy costs for decades to come because you're no longer subject to fuel price increases, says Michael Eckhart, president of solar power consulting firm Solar International Management and president of the American Council on Renewable Energy, a Washington, DC, organization focused on the adoption of renewable energy technologies. "If you're heating your building with solar heaters, you know what your cost is 20 years from today because the equipment is installed," he says. "If you continue [using] natural gas, you don't know what your future costs are." He adds that solar power typically offers a payback within six months to three years.
In fact, with the right upgrades, the typical small business can cut its energy bill up to 30 percent and see a payback on the investment within three years, says Jerry Lawson, national manager of Energy Star Small Business in Washington, DC, a voluntary EPA program that helps businesses increase their energy efficiency. Replacing old-fashioned T12 lighting systems with more modern T8 or T5 systems, for example, saves energy, and the quality of light is better. "The more efficiency you can afford, the more it pays you back," Lawson says. In 2005, Americans saved $12 billion in energy costs by using efficient Energy Star-certified products.
Nationally, there are now more than 600 utilities offering "green power"--electricity generated from the sun, wind and biomass matter such as plants--which end users can buy as a percentage of their total energy costs. Still, renewable energy constitutes a paltry 6 percent of total U.S. energy use, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Part of the problem lies in current energy policies that focus on consumption instead of conservation. Congress, meanwhile, has failed to mandate any federal standards for renewable energy production. At least 20 states have filled the void by requiring local utilities to produce renewable forms of energy.
In addition to renewable energy options, local utilities offer incentives to companies that make efficiency upgrades. McCracken received a cash incentive from its local electrical utility, Eugene Water & Electric Board, after it upgraded to energy-efficient systems and electrical fixtures. In addition, EWEB paid for one-third of a $6,400 energy efficiency analysis that a Eugene engineering firm performed on the building before the renovations. McCracken also qualified for a business energy tax credit through the Oregon Department of Energy that provides tax incentives to companies that surpass state requirements. "The combined payback period was under 10 years for the investment, and that was before any of the added incentives," Chandler says. "So right there, that was a no-brainer." The investments have been in line with the operating costs the company expected, powering Tactics' 2006 sales to $3.5 million. "We're coming in right where we wanted to be," Chandler says. "The whole building is performing very well."
Checking into the incentives your state and local utility provide companies for energy efficiency upgrades is a smart move, because most states offer these. (Check out the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency's website at to find out what types of incentives your state provides.) Over the past 15 years, efficiency programs sponsored by electrical utilities have saved enough electricity to power almost 69 million homes for one year, according to the Edison Electric Institute, an association for U.S. electric companies whose website (www.eei.org) posts information about each state's energy efficiency programs and incentives.
Rising to the Challenge
Miami Beach, Florida, restaurateur Sylvano Carrara was getting an electric shock every time he opened his energy bill. In October 2005, he paid $2,500 in natural gas and electricity costs to power his 1,600-square-foot Italian restaurant, Sylvano Restaurant and Bar, located just five blocks from the ocean in touristy, sweltering South Beach, Florida. "That's a lot of money," says Carrara, 45, who estimates energy costs him half as much as his rent each month.
A year and a half ago, Carrara called his electrical utility, Florida Power and Light, and requested a free energy audit of the restaurant's electrical system and usage patterns. An FPL energy specialist came in and used various tools to gauge the restaurant's air-conditioning system, lighting and kitchen equipment to see how the 20-employee business could lower its energy bills.
FPL recommended that Carrara buy a more efficient AC unit and install compact fluorescent lighting that uses less electricity. Carrara had just installed new lights, however, and a new AC system would have cost at least $4,000--not including business that would be lost during the renovation. Energy efficiency wasn't the first thing on his mind, or the salesperson's mind for that matter, the first time he shopped for lighting. "If the [salesperson] can tell me, 'If you use these lights, you'll save money in the long run because you'll consume less electricity,' then I definitely would have considered buying the more expensive lights," says Carrara, whose restaurant had sales of $1.3 million for 2006. "But you're lucky enough if [the salesperson] knows how the lamp works."
These days, Carrara turns off the lights in the restaurant during the day and leaves only some air conditioning on in the kitchen overnight so the high humidity doesn't damage the food and refrigerators.
Carrara's story is one example of the challenges facing business owners when it comes to energy conservation. The energy issue is complex, and it's easy to bypass the $20 energy-efficient fluorescent light bulb for the $2 pack of traditional incandescent bulbs. Of course, for some, it's even easier to do nothing at all.
Chandler thinks business owners have to start factoring energy costs into their leasing decisions and making energy efficiency a negotiating tool. "It's going to be incumbent upon small-business owners to take [energy usage] into consideration when they're looking at space and say, 'With all things being equal, how can I work with the owner of this building in terms of energy conservation so it can be a win-win for both of us?'" Chandler says. "But unless small-business owners [bring] this to the forefront of their minds in contemplating a space, it's probably not going to happen anytime soon."
Entrepreneurs who make energy-efficient products, meanwhile, face their own challenges. The production tax credit for wind power has expired three times in recent years. These kinds of stops and starts in the U.S. renewable energy market have slowed adoption of energy-saving alternatives compared to some European countries. "If you've got a booming market in Germany for solar and a struggling market in the U.S., then you're selling product in Germany, and you're frustrated that there's not a better market right here at home," Eckhart says. He predicts healthy sales for solar power this year thanks to a new 30 percent federal tax credit for companies that install solar power by December 2008. "The question is, Does it continue, or because [there is] a two-year sunset on that incentive, does the market crater in two years?"
Meanwhile, as this year's Earth Day comes and goes, entrepreneurs like Chandler ponder the positive impact their growing companies can have on the environment. This year, Tactics plans to join One Percent for the Planet, a group whose members contribute one percent of their annual sales to environmental groups. "That is going to be a big step," Chandler says. "The more companies can think outside of next quarter's earnings, the better it would be not only for the planet, but probably also for [the entrepreneurs] in the long run, whatever company they're building."
Test Your E-Q
What's your energy quotient? Find out with this quiz.
(Hint: The more you answer "no," the more energy-efficient practices could benefit you.)
- I know what kind of fluorescent lighting my business has and how efficient it is overall.
- I read more than the total due on my electrical bill. I want to know what everything means, and I've called my utility when I don't understand a certain item.
- I've contacted my electrical utility to see if they'll conduct a free energy audit of my company's energy usage.
- I've asked the owner of my building about a tenant improvement allowance so I can make some efficiency upgrades over the next year.
- My company has made at least one energy efficiency upgrade in the past 12 months.
- I look for products that conserve energy and I am willing to spend slightly more for energy-efficient models.
- It bothers me when people leave equipment running that isn't being used.
- Energy efficiency is a driving factor in my leasing decisions; I'll only rent a space if the landlord has taken steps toward conservation or offers a tenant allowance for energy efficiency upgrades.
- I've invested in a programmable thermostat that keeps the temperature constant and automatically turns down the heat or air conditioner overnight.
- I've posted a company energy usage policy in my workplace that tells employees when to shut off lights and equipment, and how the thermostat should be set. I want my employees to take energy conservation very seriously, and I reward them for their efforts.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] April 16 (ANI/NewsVoir): Development of Corporate Citizenship (DoCC), one of its kind initiative conceptualised by Late Dr M L Shrikant, former dean of SPJIMR, has completed 25 years of social impact in India. This was for the first time ever by a management Institute, a programme such as DoCC was introduced to provide value addition to its academic programmes and contribute towards development of the institute as well as society.
An integral component of management education at SPJIMR, DoCC is one of the non-classroom programmes at SPJIMR, incorporated in the MBA curriculum. In this programme, management students are exposed to an immersion programme in the rural areas and do their internship of social projects for 4 weeks and 2 weeks respectively with NGOs, corporate foundations and government agencies across the country. Using the 'learning by doing' approach, the leaders of tomorrow get an opportunity to apply the management skills and techniques to the unstructured environment in the development sector. During the phase of DoCC internships, participants learn about ground realities, challenges and opportunities, notably in rural India. The course aspires to sensitise participants to the Indian ethos and culture by working as a partner with development programmes and projects in the non-profit sector and related stakeholders. It facilitates and provides experiential learning to course participants.
While DoCC is actively working in 26 states in India, it has also expanded into countries like Nepal, Bangladesh and Colombia. The thematic areas of its work include education, health, infrastructure, income generation, women empowerment, social empowerment, disability, micro-finance and environment. Besides winning a slew of 'Best Summer Project' awards at the national level, the DoCC has also emerged as the national winner at international competitions organised in Spain, Canada and the United States.
"As DoCC celebrates its silver jubilee, we take this opportunity to thank each and every one who has been a part of this unique programme and helped us grow and jointly achieve the common goal of development of the society. We invite you to join us in the celebration on 16th of April, 2019 at SPJIMR Institute, Andheri from 3 pm onwards. On this special occasion, we will be releasing a coffee table book on DoCC and would also be felicitating our partners from all over India who have been associated with the DoCC programme since inception. With support from NABARD, we have invited 35 NGOs from all across Maharashtra and they would be displaying several vibrant and colourful products made by them which will be all up for sale," said, Nirja Mattoo, Chairperson, DoCC.

What to know about variable heart rhythms and AFib
An Ohio State cardiac electrophysiologist shares what to know about heart rhythms and AFib.
A stent is an expandable metal coil—sometimes coated with a drug that is released over time—that is placed in a blocked blood vessel to prevent it from becoming blocked again. If your cardiologist determines that you need a stent, he'll most likely do so during a cardiac catheterization. Your cardiologist uses imaging (X-rays) and dyes to precisely locate any narrowed areas in your blood vessels. If he or she finds narrowed areas, the cardiologist then places a stent; the x-rays and dyes also help to ensure proper stent placement. The stent is placed on a balloon catheter (small tube) and threaded to the narrowed artery. The balloon is inflated, then deflated and removed, leaving the stent in place within your artery.
Your physician may recommend you have a stent placed in a coronary artery if you have blockage in an artery of your heart. Stents also may be recommended if you have a blockage in an artery that goes to an extremity or your head.
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center exceeds national standards regarding the "door to balloon time" for acute cardiac events. Our team of interventional cardiologists is dedicated not only to patient care, but are also on the leading edge of both clinical and basic science research.
Ohio State's Ross Heart Hospital performs more than 5,000 procedures a year, making it one of the highest volume centers in the area. Because we've done so many procedures, our staff is better equipped and more experienced in handling even the most difficult cases.
We're putting our cath lab to good use, using it for more than just normal heart catheterizations by developing monitoring methods and treatments for heart failure that can be performed in the cath lab and researching stem cell treatments for heart attack. Our interventional cardiology program (including our cath lab) experienced a 20 percent increase in procedures between 2006 and 2009 – all of this despite a national downturn in caths and coronary angioplasties.
Ohio State has extensive experience with minimally invasive coronary angioplasty and stenting procedures for peripheral artery disease; stent grafting and endovascular repair for aortic aneurysms; and carotid stenting.
Dr. Quinn Capers discusses the remarkable new method of cardiac stenting through an artery in a patient's wrist.
Preparing for Your Procedure
Prior to your stent procedure, you'll meet with your physician to discuss your medical history, medications you take and any questions you have.
Your physician will likely recommend a coronary CT angiogram to help determine that a stent is appropriate for your condition. This test involves injecting a special dye that shows up on the images to help the physician see inside your artery. Often, CT angioplasty is performed at the same time as the angiogram, and the stent is placed during a single procedure.
Do not eat or drink anything for at least eight hours prior to your procedure. Check with your physician to determine if any of your medications should be avoided for the days leading up to your procedure. Make sure to bring all of your medications, as well as any herbal or dietary supplements and over-the-counter medications, to the test with you.
You may have other diagnostic tests prior to having a stent placed, including:
During Your Procedure
A catheter (thin, flexible tube) is inserted into the leg or arm artery during a minimally invasive procedure. You receive an injection of an anesthetic solution to numb the area where the catheter is inserted. You remain awake during the procedure but receive medication to help you relax. The catheter is advanced to the artery of interest. An angiogram may be performed to help determine if a stent is appropriate for your condition; the angiogram involves imaging and dyes to precisely locate the narrowed artery. If significant blockage is detected in the artery, a stent can be placed to open the vessel and re-establish normal blood flow.
The procedure lasts from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the degree of blockage, number of stents to be placed and other factors. Your vital signs are monitored throughout the procedure. You may feel minimal discomfort when the numbing medication is injected.
After Your Procedure
Patients typically stay in the hospital overnight after having a stent procedure and are able to resume eating and drinking normally as soon as they want. Your physician may recommend you avoid vigorous activity for a few days afterward.
You may need to take additional medication to prevent the stent from clotting.

To better serve a rapidly increasing customer base, Race Tech is proud to announce two new authorized Race Tech Centers; Racing Unlimited in Fort Dodge, Iowa; and Vaith's Cycle in Racine, MN.
Racing Unlimited has been a top Race Tech dealer, and in response to the rapid growth in Race Tech business has taken on additional education to become a Race Tech Center.
"Racing Unlimited has been tuning Race Tech suspension for quite awhile with an already established group of happy riders. With a deep passion for motorcycling in a town rich with two and four wheeled enthusiasts; we are confident Racing Unlimited will be able to help Race Tech provide the same great products and services locally to riders around the Fort Dodge area," said Race Tech's Director of Marketing Chris Riesenberg.
Vaith's Cycle located in Racine, Minnesota has also completed the necessary hands on training with Race Tech and is the latest addition to the list of authorized RT Centers. Vaith's Cycle not only has an established service department with tuning experience, but also is known for great trackside support.
"Our GM Rob Brown first worked with Jason from Vaith's Cycle years ago, while Jason was a mechanic for current Race Tech rider Kurt McCabe. Rob and Jason developed a mutual respect for eachother as tuners, and Kurt's strong recommendation of the Race Tech product filled in the missing piece. With Vaith's strong Trackside Support presence, it is a great fit for Race Tech. Riders will be able to get the service and support they need on site from experienced tuners; it's a combination that we feel will help Race Tech be sucessful in Minnesota," said Race Tech's Director of Marketing Chris Riesenberg.
Chris continued, "Having Centers like Racing Unlimited and Vaith's Cycle allows us to do more testing and development with more riders, at more diverse locations. All the data is then compiled at Race Tech to make a better product available to all of our consumers. A lot of riders want the testing and R&D experience from a large company like Race Tech, but also want a suspension tuner that is at their local events; working closely with RT Centers; we can give our riders the best of both worlds."

Goodman Group, a global owner, developer and manager of industrial real estate, has been named Europe's top real estate developer for the fifth consecutive year by PropertyEU. Since claiming the top spot in 2011, Goodman has developed over four million sqm of logistics and business space in Europe, representing an investment of close to €3 billion across 132 projects.
"We owe this achievement to the trust our customers place in us to provide them with property solutions that meet their critical business needs. Partnering with our customers to deliver on these needs forges strong relationships that extend beyond the development phase as we continue to provide all-round property services during the lease term," said Philippe Van der Beken, Goodman Managing Director for Continental Europe. "The result of this integrated 'own, develop, manage' approach to real estate is strong customer loyalty and repeat business with many customers across key industry sectors."
Each year PropertyEU bases its ranking on completed projects over the previous three years. By focusing on quality, reliability and long-term property ownership, Goodman has worked hard to earn repeat business from some of the world's biggest brands including, Amazon, Zalando, Kuehne + Nagel and BMW. Many of these partnerships also extend beyond Europe to Australia, China and New Zealand.
Goodman has established itself as the leading developer of ecommerce logistics space in Europe, providing over 1.5 million sqm of space to the sector since 2006. The majority of the space, 1.2 million sqm, was developed for the sector from 2009 to 2015, with roughly 90 percent of the space representing repeat business from existing customers. During this period, Goodman completed nine projects for Amazon in Germany, France and Poland as well four projects in Germany for Zalando in Erfurt and Mönchengladbach and two for Home24 in Ludwigsfelde and Walsrode.
Approximately one quarter of Goodman's development space during 2009 to 2015 has been for transport and logistics companies. Goodman has leveraged its European platform to deliver 20 different projects for industry leaders, such as DB Schenker, DHL, DSV and Kuehne + Nagel, in France, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, and the UK.

There is something about being in the presence of James Bond. Maybe it's because we all grew up watching the character. Or maybe it's because we wish we could be him—bedding beautiful women and killing bad guys with ease and style. And although we all know Daniel Craig is not really James Bond, when he walks into a room filled with reporters from around the world to answer questions about Skyfall, the atmosphere changes. It's like everyone just had a few cups of coffee and they're wide awake and ready to ask a lot of questions. Trust me: not every actor gets that kind of response from entertainment journalists.
On Sunday afternoon, in Istanbul, Turkey, I got to participate in a roundtable interview with Daniel Craig and producer Barbara Broccoli. Since Craig had to get back to set to film part of an action sequence on Skyfall, we had limited time. However, even though Craig and Broccoli were guarded about giving away any of the twists and turns, they still talked about the strength of the script, the humor, how the upcoming teaser trailer only scratches the surface of what Skyfall is about, the stunts, invoking the wit of Ian Fleming, Easter eggs, if Bond 24 is really coming in 2014, and a lot more. Hit the jump to listen or read the interview.
As usual, I'm offering you two ways to get this interview: you can either click here for the audio, or the full transcript is below. Skyfall opens October 26 in the UK and November 9 in the US.
Interviewer: Some of us saw the teaser trailer at CinemaCon last week and it has a great dark, serious tone. Can you talk about what you guys are going for with Skyfall?
Daniel Craig: The teaser's just that, a teaser. It represents a very, very small part of the movie. I mean you know the score, when you're making a teaser you want to show part of the movie and leave a lot to be desired, and I personally think we have. I think what the teaser's done incredibly well is show that there's an awful lot of content in the movie, but [the footage shown in the teaser] is nothing.
Barbara Broccoli: It's a lot of fun, too. A lot of fun.
Given that this is the James Bond anniversary, and because you're shooting the film in Istanbul where two Bond films have been done before—From Russia With Love and The World Is Not Enough—I was wondering whether any part of it's an homage to the past Bond movies?
Craig: It's not directly that, but certainly there were conversations with all of us, especially with Sam [Mendes]. Sam felt very strongly that, by making the best Bond movie we can, we're gonna look back a little. You kind of have to do that. But this has an individual look to it, something that I don't think you've seen in any other Bond movie.
Broccoli: It feels like classic Bond, doesn't it?
Craig: I think so, yes.
Broccoli: It feels like we're making a very classic Bond, and it's great to be back here in Istanbul. 49 years ago today, actually, they were shooting here. So it's a wonderful way to celebrate it.
In Casino Royale you gave Bond a very different personality. Where will you take him now?
Craig: Go-go dancer.
Craig: It's something I've not done myself before, and I thought it's about time that I showed that part of myself to the world (laughs). Um, wait and see. I mean, really. I'm not going to say that we've done something incredibly different here; we've done something I think which has quality about it and, like I said, we've got a teaser that has a great story that we want to tell. But it is a kind of wait-and-see situation.
There has been some talk a bit about austerity and there was something about Bognor Regis—
Broccoli: Oh come on, we're here in Istanbul!
Craig: No, let's talk about Bognor Regis, please. There's nothing wrong with Bognor Regis, by the way.
Well I was wondering where you sort of cut back and where you splashed out?
Broccoli: It's all on the screen. All the money's on the screen.
Craig: It's all on the screen. There's nothing tight about what we've done, it's just that we've spent the money in the right places. We're very fortunate to be able to make movies like this, I mean not a lot of people get the chance to do it. We want to give an audience as much value for money as we possibly can, and that's been sort of the key here for all of us.
Sam Mendes has said he would have advised you against taking the Bond role back in the day.
Craig: He regrets saying that (laughs).
Broccoli: How the worm has turned.
Craig: Well not even that, it's just as soon as he said it in the interview, I said, "You really wanna get involved with this?" Sorry, please go on.
I was finished.
Craig: Oh that was it? He still does! He still regrets it (laughs).
Are you happy to work with him on this?
Craig: Very much, very much. It's been a great relief for me to work with someone like Sam on a movie like this, because there's an awful lot of pressures from the outside world on a movie like this, but we just crack on with making the best film we can. It's a joy to do.
Can you talk a bit about the humor of the movie?
Craig: The humor's not something that we've tried to do, it's just that we've got a great script. Humor comes out, I think, more of situation than it does out of gag lines. We've got some very funny lines in the movie, but who knows how an audience may find them? I remember with Casino, one of the lines we didn't think was particularly funny, the audience really got a hold of. So I'm just excited about showing it to an audience and showing the dialogue we have and the situations we have, and to see how they react to it. I think there's some very funny moments. I have a very dark humor though.
Broccoli: Well so did Fleming. It's very Fleming-y. It has the wit of Ian Fleming. The acerbic wit.
Could you do slapstick stuff?
Broccoli: Not slapstick, no. But Bond isn't slapstick.
No I was just asking, would you be the kind of guy that could do stuff like that?
Craig: Me? No.
One of the things I've loved about the Bond movies as opposed to other Hollywood action movies is that it's all about style. Is there a specific stunt from Skyfall that you're looking forward to realize?
Craig: Yes. There's a lot, there's a ton of stuff that we've done and style has been the key. Not only just how stunts are created and how they're designed—we have Gary Powell again, who's designing the stunts and Alexander Wit who's shooting second-unit on this, who's an incredibly skilled director but has a real eye for what's exciting—but style has been really a key through design; production design, costume design, some of the casting.
Broccoli: Oh absolutely, and Roger Deakins who's the greatest [director of photography] ever.
Does it feel different than the last two films?
Craig: Yeah, definitely.
In what way?
Craig: In every way, really. We've got a different team together; some old faces are still here. Again, talking about how it's such a rare thing to make movies like this, and to be given the chance you have to give it all you've got. Now I'm at the stage where all I want to do is start showing this to an audience to get that reaction, to see how they react to it. I think it's quite special, what we've got. Here's hoping, who knows?
You took two movies to learn Bond…
Craig: Did I? Take it back! (laughs) I'm still learning.
Are you in a comfort zone now?
Craig: No, not at all. I'd hate to feel in a comfort zone while I was working. That's not the way I like to do things. You want to be pressurized and you want to be challenged every day, and we are for sure on this movie challenged every day with something. It's just a relief for us, we've been filming at Pinewood in sort of fairly dark locations for the past however long it's been, so it's great to come to Turkey and film in some amazing, beautiful locations. It feels like an old fashioned Bond movie.
Last week Rory, the president of distribution of Sony, announced Bond 24 for I guess late 2014…
Broccoli: He was getting a little overexcited (laughs). We're just actually focusing on this movie. One hopes that in the future we'll be announcing other films, but no one's officially announced it.
Craig: No one's announced anything. He got a little ahead of himself (laughs). It's very nice that he has the confidence to be able to do that, but we haven't finished this movie yet.
A lot of people enjoy little Easter eggs, are you guys already thinking about planting seeds of things?
Craig: As in chocolate Easter eggs?
Craig: What is an Easter egg? Explain to me what an Easter egg is.
Broccoli: You mean little things in this movie, or in the future?
Yeah, like connective tissue.
Broccoli: Homages and things like that. Well I think being here in Istanbul is reminiscent, it echoes From Russia With Love.
Craig: What you're talking about is actually planning things for the next movies? Uh, no. And why would we tell you if we did? (laughs).
There's been a lot of talk about how this has personal stakes for Bond. What does that require from you in your performance that maybe makes it more personal than the previous things we've seen?
Craig: I don't think personally, it's about the character and how he lives the experience. Again, just harkening back to the script, through a lot of hard work I think we've kind of got together a script that has a really strong bed rock of a story and something for all the characters—of which there are a lot in this movie—to sort of experience. There are very personal stories in it and hopefully the audience will get affected by them and moved by them. It's just a good acting job to do.

(Pocket-lint) - There's no getting round it. Whatever interesting nuggets we tell you about the features of the new Lexus IS, or however interesting we reckon the car's general looks are, whether you like it is probably going to come down to what you think of that massive new "spindle" front grille.
It certainly has presence; we'll give it that. But it's almost as shocking as the first time we saw Audi's full frame, single aperture front gob. And we remember people being up in arms about that.
Yet time has a funny habit of making such shock fade into the background as you see more and more of something on the road. So we reckon all of the fuss made about the new Lexus's face here in Detroit will subside once people have seen a few out and about.
And the signs are that you should get past it if you really can, for behind the gaping mouth lurks an impressive car. Taking the fight to the dominant trio of BMW 3-Series, Audi A4 and Merc C-Class, the new IS is unarguably the closest Lexus has come to offering something that should really make you think twice before defaulting to German.
You'll struggle to tell from the shots of this impossible-to-photograph white car shown in Detroit, but the design is proportionally sound, dead-on size wise and has an appearance that you'd never call boring or predictable.
Check out those front lights - the LED running "L" (for Lexus, of course, just don't mention the Nike Swoosh to anyone at the Japanese car brand) has been broken clean away from the main front lamp unit, while at the rear a pair of LED bars form L shapes too.
We suspect you'll like what greets you as you step inside, too. The quality still isn't quite at Audi levels, but the plastic is mostly soft, the leather is likely to come as standard and the contrast stitching adds a level of sportiness. The architecture of the dashboard is quite busy, with a wraparound cowl over the instruments and then a set-back centre screen that's not dissimilar to the bigger GS we tested last summer but there's a lot of feature appeal.
READ: Lexus GS450h review
You get Lexus's rather irritating RTI mouse-like controller for screen function selections, and some nifty electro-slider switches for adjusting the cabin temperature and fan speed.
But the best bit is undoubtedly the instrument panel. We scored a world exclusive by persuading the Lexus staff to fire up the car on the motorshow stand (well, if you don't ask, you don't get…) to bring the instrument binnacle to life. To get the best idea of what it does, check out our video.
You get a central, physical main dial, which when the car is fired up, forms the border for the digital rev counter. It's flanked by a pair of digital screens, but the real theatre is when you switch driving modes or use a button on the wheel, to make the whole rev counter unit shuttle itself across to the right, revealing a bigger, different screen to the left, just like in the LFA supercar.
It goes through this movement with a lovely, motorised camera-shutter noise you can hear on the video and regardless of whether you think it's cool (we do), it a unique feature.
Lexus will primarily bring the hybrid, badged IS300h, to Europe and the best news about that for company car drivers is that they're saying its emissions levels are just 99g/km. That means super-low fuel consumption in theory, plus low company car tax and £0 road tax.
If you want a diesel, you'll have to look elsewhere as we're only getting petrol and hybrid here. Based on what we've seen so far, we can't wait to get behind the wheel.

So I'm tempted to heat up the kitchen with some new recipes. Browsing the library's catalog, I found lots of new cookbooks to inspire me and I hope, my family.
For our resident vegetarian, we have the Vegetarian Shabbat Cookbook by Roberta Kalechofsky & Roberta Schiff. Worth the price of checking it out for the cholent variations alone! And for the other side of the table, I'll bring home the Kosher Carnivore by June Hersh. I'm already drooling at the thought of roast duck with cherry port sauce.
In the past couple of years, we've seen a wealth of Jewish cookbooks from around the world. Joan Nathan scours France in search of families' secret recipes in Quiches, Kugels and Couscous. In Persian Food from the Non-Persian Bride, Reyna Simnegar explains the herbs, spices and other ingredients of her recipes along with tips on substitutions and short-cuts.
The Ottoman Turk and the Pretty Jewish Girl is part history, part cookbook and part genealogy of the author's, Beyhan Cagri Trock's, family. Each borek recipe looked more enticing than the next. Similarly, Amnun Kimyagarov explains the many influences that show up in Classic Central Asian (Bukharian) Jewish Cuisine and Customs. I'm not sure how my family would react to tripe, but the pumpkin turnovers should be a hit.
If I want to channel my family's central/east European heritage, 2 books jump off the shelves at me. The Jewish Mama's Kitchen by Denise Phillips has all the
basics of chicken soup (with a recipe possibly stolen from my mother), matzah balls, roast chicken, kreplach, knishes, and a sprinkling of Israeli staples. There are many color pictures and hints and words of wisdom from "mama." Feed Me Bubbe : Recipes and Wisdom from America's Favorite Online Grandmother / by
Avrom Honig and Bubbe has a similar set of recipes (minus the Israeli) but is sprinkled with stories from Bubbe's life.
And for a calorie-free dessert, I'll curl up on my couch with On the Chocolate Trail by Deborah Prinz. Rabbi Prinz takes us on a journey from the New World to
the Old and back in the footsteps of Jewish travelers, merchants, and chocolatiers.
Check our catalog for these and many other cookbooks and general "foody" books. And if you can't find them on the library shelf, look in my kitchen.

It's always a good thing when a production car sticks close to the design of an attractive concept. In the case of the 2015 Mazda2, I'm pleased to say it looks quite a bit like the lovely Mazda Hazumi Concept from the Geneva show earlier this year.
The first known live shots of the all-new Mazda2, or Mazda Demio as it's known in Japan, showed up this morning on Carscoops. I'm amazed at how faithful it stayed to its concept car. Even the interior kind of follows the same theme. It takes a lot of the cues of the Mazda3 and puts them into a smaller package.
The Mazda2 has always been a fun little hatchback, and this one looks to be even better. No details on what motors it will get, or which ones will come to the U.S., but we expect a variety of small gasoline and diesel SkyActiv engines.
We've also heard the next-generation Toyota Yaris will use this Mazda2's platform as well, because Toyota has been in the habit of borrowing kits from more fun companies like Subaru and eventually BMW as of late. That won't be a bad thing at all.

This geek looks like he's terrified of getting hit by a car. Check out the reflectors (tires, ankles, panniers) and the hub-powered lights (no batteries, always on, front and rear).

you just described my riding gear top to bottom
only a fool would not be fearful of getting hit by a car
it is a reality worth avoiding
I turn my lights on before dark
on rainy misty mornings they are blinking
the lights on my pack and the knogs on the bike

We know, we know... you've been filling up on Hunger Games movie stills and interviews and teaser clips these past few weeks, and you couldn't possibly stomach another spoonful of Panem eye candy. But surely you can make room for a little something more -- an extended trailer that will air during Sunday's Super Bowl.
Stomach it for the glory of District 12.
It's posted below, and watching the clip it's easy to imagine we're actually tuning in to Katniss' (Jennifer Lawrence) interview with Caesar (Stanley Tucci), days before entering the Games. We see her introduction as "the girl on fire" and watch her take a few of Caesar's soft-ball questions, as clips from the reaping and the Games -- and a few more glimpses of Peeta's (Josh Hutcherson) dreamy, dreamy eyes -- are interspersed.
For those who are still too busy dismissing the Hunger Games as a fluffy version of Battle Royale to read the book, the sci-fi movie centers on an outdoor tournament, wherein young men and women selected in a mandatory lottery must battle the elements, and each other, until one survivor emerges. According to a new story in the Hollywood Reporter, the making of the movie came with a few non-fictional, life-threatening challenges. Like bears, for instance -- 300 of them -- that were living in the woods surrounding the set and would occasionally crash through the camp.
And then there's the fact Lawrence nearly burst her spleen while training for the role of Katniss Everdeen, the Hunger Games' huntress heroine. According to THR, the injury nearly halted production on the flick.
But that's not why Lawrence almost passed up the part. (All that old fan outrage over Lawrence not being brunette and "racially ambigious" like Katniss apparently didn't have anything to do with it, either.) As the Oscar-nominee explained to THR, she struggled with the decision for three days before her mother convinced her to go for it.
"When I was doing indie movies and everyone was asking why I didn't do studio movies, I said, 'The size of the movie doesn't matter," said Lawrence. "And she said, 'Here's a movie you love and you were thinking of turning it down because of it's size."
There's nothing like having your mom call you a "hypocrite" to convince a girl to take a job. Well, that and the payday, maybe. (According to THR, Lawrence, who's signed on for three Hunger Games movies, will earn $500,000 plus a percentage of profits for the first film.)
The Hunger Games arrives in theatres March 23.
Watch the new trailer below:

Published on Apr 10, 2014
More than 900 Sailors and Marines assigned to Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) America (LHA 6) march to the ship to take custody of it. The U.S. Navy officially accepted delivery of the amphibious assault ship from Huntington Ingalls Industries during a custody transfer ceremony in Pascagoula, Miss. April 10. America is the first ship of its class, replacing the Tarawa-class of amphibious assault ships and is scheduled to be commissioned late 2014 in San Francisco.
PASCAGOULA, Miss. (NNS) -- The Navy accepted delivery of the future USS America (LHA 6) from Huntington Ingalls Industries April 10.
America, the lead ship of the class, is the first of the Navy's next generation amphibious assault ships which replaces the aging Tarawa class. Delivery marks the official turnover of custody of the ship from the shipbuilder to the U.S. Navy.
"This is a great Navy and Marine Corps day," said Capt. Christopher Mercer, Amphibious Warfare program manager for the Program Executive Office, Ships. "This ship's delivery will bring significant new capability in both amphibious assault and aviation support, while enhancing forward presence around the world."
America completed sea trials in February, with no major deficiencies identified. Following delivery, the commissioning crew will move aboard and begin shipboard training in preparation for ship sail away. The ship's commissioning is slated for late 2014 in San Francisco.
The ship will provide forward presence and power projection throughout the world as an integral part of joint, interagency and multinational maritime expeditionary forces. Her addition to the fleet brings not only added amphibious capabilities, but also further aviation capabilities as she will be able to handle current and future aircraft such as the tilt-rotor MV-22 and the Joint Strike Fighter.
LHA 6 uses the same zonal electrical distribution, electric auxiliary systems, and auxiliary propulsion system as the USS Makin Island (LHD 8), resulting in lower fuel, maintenance and lifecycle costs. By using these proven systems, the U.S. Navy is avoiding design and development costs often associated with a first in class ship.
America is the first ship of the Amphibious Assault Replacement Program, LHA(R). The LHA 6 design removes the traditional well deck to include space for an enlarged hangar deck, expanded aviation maintenance facilities, and an increase in available stowage for parts, support equipment and aviation fuel. America spans an expansive 844 feet, displaces an impressive 44,971 long tons and can operate at speeds of over 20 knots.
As one of the Defense Department's largest acquisition organizations, PEO Ships is responsible for executing the development and procurement of all destroyers, amphibious ships, special mission and support ships, and special warfare craft. Delivering high-quality war fighting assets - while balancing affordability and capability - is key to supporting the Navy's Maritime Strategy and the future of U.S. Maritime strength.

A Civil War Border Killing
A friend recently found a newpaper article regarding the death of his wife's great grandfather, published below with permission. Since I live near the border of Missouri and Kansas and have posted quite a bit on our Civil War era border wars, I found this particularly interesting.
Note that Elwood, Kansas (originally called Roseport) is directly across the Missouri River from St. Joseph, Missouri.
St. Joseph Morning HeraldThursday September 11, 1862
Killing in Elwood (Kansas). Last Thursday a Mr. Slaughter was killed in Elwood by some Federal soldiers from Troy. We heard different versions of
the affair, at the time, and declined to publish any of them. Yesterday Mr. John Norton of Elwood, who lives with the Coroner, and was the
first man on the ground after the killing, brought us the following account of the affair, obtained from Mrs. Slaughter, the wife of the deceased:
Samuel A. Slaughter, living in Elwood, was killed Thursday night Sept 4, about 1 o'clock, as follows: A man named Day was living in
the house with the deceased. The soldiers came to the door which was left open, and began ballooing for the man of the house. Mr. Day asked
them what they wanted, and they replied, "A light." He immediately struck a light, and they then asked him if a man named Slaughter lived there.
He replied affirmatively. They told him to tell Slaughter they wanted to see him. Mr. S. put on his clothes, went to the door, and asked them
what they wanted of him. They replied, "No matter, come along with us." They took him out of the yard, and as soon as he was outside the gate, a revolver was fired. After the firing, the soldiers twice cried "halt." They then cried, "There is a dead man out here, come and take care of him."
Mr. Day and Mrs. Slaughter went out there, found Mr. Slaughter dead, 'roused some of the neighbors, and procured a Coroner. The soldiers forbid them holding an inquest. They said they were there to arrest Mr. S. and he ran from them, and none should be held.
Mr. Slaughter was a secessionist, aged 26 or 28 years, and leaves a wife and two children. He formerly lived in this city, and once kept a
small saloon by the Elwood Ferry landing, called "The First and Last House."
Elwood, first called Roseport, was established in 1856. In its heyday scores of river steamboats unloaded passengers and freight at its wharves and every 15 minutes ferryboats crossed to its Missouri rival, St. Joseph. During the 1850's thousands of emigrants outfitted here for Oregon and California. Late in 1859, Abraham Lincoln seeking the Republican nomination, here first set foot in Kansas, and spoke in the three-story Great Western Hotel. Elwood was the first Kansas station on the Pony Express between Missouri and California. Construction of the first railroad west of the Missouri river began here in 1859. On April 23, 1860, the first locomotive, "The Albany," was ferried over and pulled up on the bank by hand. Elwood's ambitions for greatness were thwarted, not by St. Joe, but by the river which undermined the banks and washed much of the old town away.

This week I've been on my own with the boy, again. His daddy was in the states for work and so our week went with the usual mayhem of arts and crafts tumbling onto forbidden zones, the boy insisting on only pooping in the bath, his cupping my face and saying, 'I love you so much Mumma', lying on the floor and insisting on going to soft play, refusing to let me cook whilst giggling, swinging from my legs and emptying my kitchen cupboard whist eating raw panko breadcrumbs and the emergence of a new fascination with breaking or disassembling anything including my favourite sunglasses. All those on top of delivering a commission for some recipes and well, you know, 'ordinary life
So, my diminished appetite was satisfied whilst reviving my sleepy taste buds with very quick and easy, simple yet fragrant dishes like this one.
These bright green pancakes are light and moist with ricotta, fragrant with saffron and carry the fennel so well. The spinach stays silky; the mouthfuls are easy and soothing. They look pretty, they taste like they have been paired with affection and they are so, so easy to put together.
Ingredients to make six pancakes to serve 2-3
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cup shredded spinach
2 small pinches of saffron
Salt to taste
1 tsp. fennel seeds
1 egg
1/2 cup of whole milk
A few teaspoons of ricotta to serve
1. Mix the plain flour, salt, spinach and fennel seeds in a bowl, before adding the ricotta, egg, milk and mixing well.
2. Mix the saffron in a tablespoon of hot water and once it's infused add that to the other ingredients and mix again.
3. On a non-stick pan add two tablespoons of cooking oil and once it's heated add a heaped dessert spoon of the batter and cook until they are lightly golden on each side.
4. Serve hot with a little ricotta to top them.

Ibrahimovic tells Gerrard to move on
Swedish captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes the time is right for England counterpart Steven Gerrard to move from Liverpool and join "a big international club."
Ibrahimovic is a big admirer of the midfielder who is poised to win his 100th cap in Wednesday's international between the two countries to mark the opening of the Friends Arena in Stockholm. But he feels Gerrard should make the break from Anfield after more than a decade of loyal service to the Reds.
Ibrahimovic said: "I think Steven Gerrard is respected throughout Europe. I know so because he is always the player the coach says be careful with because he is the one that makes the difference. But, although of course Liverpool is a big club, I would like to see Steven at a big international club."
The Swede added: "I would like to see that also for England because it is very exciting when someone goes abroad and shows he who he is also in another competition. For me, a fantastic player can make the difference in every country wherever he plays. I'm pretty sure Steven would do that also. Now he is playing one of the best leagues in the world, a fantastic player."
Ibrahimovic believes Gerrard has more skills to offer than the traditional England player.
He said: "A typical English player is strong with a big heart, always aggressive and never gives up. But, for me, Gerrard feels more international. He has more skills than the normal player."
Sweden coach Eric Hamren admits he knows little about Crystal Palace's exciting winger Wilfried Zaha after his call-up into the England squad. But he has urged that expectation levels placed on Zaha be kept in perspective.
Hamren said: "I don't know about him. I will have some information. I have a scout so he can look but, for this game, I haven't been so focused on England because we have only had a couple of days to prepare. For me, it's more the team England than particular players but I hope I will not have a bad surprise from this player (Zaha). You scare me when you say this."
In terms of Zaha's potential, Hamren said: "Sometimes you (the media) get carried away. You have to need those heroes and stars and sometimes you make them a star too early. Then it is a problem for a player. It is better to make him a star when he is a star because we have seen some examples of that in world football.
"I hope he is not a star tomorrow but in the future, I hope you are right. I won't give you names of people (who have been built up too quickly) but I have some in my head I am directly thinking about. We have the same here in Sweden, there are a lot of new Zlatans (Ibrahimovic) mentioned in the media. We have the same story and so far we have just one Zlatan."
